The weather, it would seem, is about to take a nasty turn - as the latest weather maps have the UK "barely visible" under a massive 650-mile storm set to cause chaos. According to WXCharts, storms are expected to batter Britain from September 24 to 26, bringing torrential downpours and a drop in temperatures.

Come Tuesday, the west is bracing for the heaviest rainfall, with north Wales and particularly Anglesey forecasted to be drenched. South Wales, south Cornwall, and western Scotland are on alert for the highest rainfall accumulations during this period, reports the Express.

Despite the wet conditions, temperatures will remain mild, hovering between 8C and 14C, with Plymouth enjoying the warmest weather at 14C and the south coast not far behind at 13C. The Midlands and Wales can expect temperatures ranging from 11C to 13C, while the north of England, southern Scotland, and Northern Ireland will see mercury levels of 9C to 12C. The chilliest spots will be in north Scotland, with temperatures between 8C and 10C.

The Met Office has weighed in, predicting: "Showers or longer spells of rain will affect parts of England and Wales, especially in the south and southwest but tending to ease away to the southeast early next week." They add that while some areas will face unsettled weather, others will enjoy generally stable conditions, though low clouds and drizzle may linger along North Sea coasts. Most places, however, are set to experience above-average warmth for the time of year.

In the Met Office's five-day forecast, northern regions are set for cloudy skies with a touch of drizzle, while the rest of the country will enjoy clear and dry conditions. As we move into the early hours, clouds will start to roll into eastern areas, with fog predicted in certain parts. Up north, the fog is expected to lift quickly as the morning progresses. The clouds hovering over the east and south are set to clear away, making way for a bright day filled with plenty of sunshine. so it's going to feel rather warm.

On the whole, the week ahead looks promising, although an incoming easterly breeze might bring some sporadic cloud cover. There's a possibility of showers hitting central and southern regions by Friday. But it's still going to feel warm under the sunny spells.
